A Little Night Music, Stephen Sondheim’s 1973 Broadway musical, is a  romantic farce about the lives of several upper-middle-class couples set in early 20^th century Sweden. It was suggested by Ingmar Bergman’s Smiles of a Summer Night, an evening of sexual musical chairs on the longest night of the year. The couples, mostly mismatched at the start, end up with more desirable partners by the final curtain. Sondheim’s score features his best-known song, “Send in the Clowns.” A Little Night Music won a Tony Award in 1973 for best musical. A fun fact: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s concerto, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, translates to “a little night music.”

Escape to Margaritaville and step into “island time” in this hilarious, heartwarming musical featuring classic Jimmy Buffett hits. Based on a true story, the musical was written by Emmy award winner Greg Garcia and Emmy nominee Mike O’Malley and made its debut in 2018. Set in the rundown Margarita hotel on a small Caribbean island, visiting girlfriends mingle with the hotel’s resident colorful characters and become romantically involved. The show follows the characters over a three-year time span following the sudden closure of the hotel due to a natural disaster. The group reunites at the reopened hotel for a sweet and satisfying finale. Jimmy Buffett songs include “Come Monday,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and “Margaritaville,” which was inducted into the 2016 Grammy Hall of Fame for its cultural and historic significance.
